OVERALL REVIEW OF ECONOMY

The global economy is showing signs of a turnaround with Asian economies experiencing a relatively stronger rebound. However, significant risks remain: (1) in many economies, the recovery is largely driven by government spending whilst consumer sentiments remain fragile; (2) high levels of global liquidity have led to steep increases in commodity prices; (3) emerging markets are likely to face increased inflationary pressures and (4) developed economies are facing large budget deficits.

There are concerns that the global recovery phase may be fragile, as economies of developed countries, particularly USA and Europe, continue to be beset with the problems of high unemployment, low consumer spending and depressed housing markets. Besides, the recent crisis in Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Greece indicate that there would be many pitfalls along the road to recovery and that normalcy is still some time away.

India’s growth-inflation dynamics are in contrast to the overall global scenario. The Indian Economy is recovering steadily from the growth slowdown, but inflationary pressures, triggered by the supply side factors, have developed into a wider inflationary cycle.

Although the growth momentum of the Indian economy was substantially impacted with the onset of the global economic slowdown, the severity of the impact was considerably less when compared to most developed economies. The fiscal and monetary policies implemented by the Government of India helped the economy to weather the downturn phase.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The Indian Textile Industry is one of the Leading Textile Industries in the World. The textiles and apparels sector is a major contributor to the Indian Economy in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), industrial production and the country’s total export earnings.

This sector provides employment to over 37 million people and it is expected that the textile industry will generate new jobs during the ensuing years.

The industry went through a challenging FY 2015, with the global meltdown ravaging economies. The collapse in consumer sentiments, weak exports, noteworthy drop in discretionary spending in textiles / apparels and down trading by the consumers put immense pressure on both the top-line and the bottom-line of textile companies.
